SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED A USED 2002 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 IN NOVEMBER 2014. I HAVE HAD CONTINUED AND CONSISTENT UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE (ABS) ACTIVATION WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS AND APPROACHING STOP SIGNS, STOP LIGHTS, AND YIELD SIGNS AT OR NEAR INTERSECTIONS. THE UNWANTED ABS ACTIVATION HAS NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE UNWANTED ABS ACTIVATION APPEARS IDENTICAL AND CONSISTENT WITH GM PRODUCT RECALL 05068 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V-379 IN WHICH 804,000 GMC AND CHEVROLET VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR UNWANTED ABS ACTIVATION. THE PRIMARY GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS AFFECTED APPEARS TO BE THE SALT BELT STATES. THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO BE ABS WHEEL SENSORS NOT PROPERLY PREPARED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION CAUSING RUST AND/OR CORROSION TO AFFECT THE WHEEL SENSORS. ALTHOUGH A CHECK OF MY VIN DOES NOT YIELD ANY SAFETY RECALLS ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE, I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE SAME FRONT WHEEL SENSOR CORROSION ISSUE AS THOSE VEHICLES LISTED IN THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS A 2002 AVALANCHE WHICH IS ONE OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED. I ALSO RESIDE IN MINNESOTA WHICH IS ONE OF THE STATES AFFECTED. I AM CONCERNED THIS MAY CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEREFOR THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY DEFECT THAT MAY JEOPARDIZE CONSUMER SAFETY. I WOULD LIKE MY WHEEL SENSORS CLEANED AND/OR REPLACED PER GM RECALL AND AT NO COST TO ME.
